Five people face charges of operating a methamphetamine lab in Bath after authorities searched a home on Old Forge Drive, according to court records.

Melissa A. Bailey, 36, of Bridgewater Township, N.J.; Francesco Ditaranto, 24, of the 100 block of Old Forge Drive in Bath; and Thomas Paul Mauro, 33, of Philadelphia, are charged.

Colonial Regional police and the Pennsylvania State Police Methamphetamine Lab Team at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday visited the home at 127 Old Forge Drive to serve a search warrant, court papers say.

Police found what they suspect was an operation for manufacturing methamphetamine in the second story bedroom, court documents say. Two windows were open with a box fan set up as an exhaust system as temperatures outside dipped below freezing, court papers say.

A pizza box was filled with protective gear used for handling chemicals, a trash can contained remnants of ammonium nitrate fertilizer and a glass jar with a clear liquid inside appeared to contain methamphetamine oil, court records say.

Police say Bailey and Mauro admitted the trio knew what the chemicals were used for and had been cooking meth for cash.

Police found paperwork in the home identifying Jamie Lynn Kinghorn, 36, as the occupant, court papers say. Colonial Regional police say Alan Woodson, 36, also lives at the address. Woodson is in custody, police say, and an arrest warrant has been issued for Kinghorn.

All five were charged with operating a meth lab, liquefying ammonia gas, possession of pseudo-ephedrine, manufacturing a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and causing or risking catastrophe.
